Dare I say, the end of this challenge. I have a new found respect for people who blog everyday. How do you do it??? I had to pre-write many of the posts to publish on the appropriate days because, lately, after staring at a computer all day, I have writers block!

There are so many quotes that I love and try to incorporate into my life. But there is one that has been with me the longest. I learned it at Vacation Bible school when I was a young girl. Us kids had to memorize a Bibile verse and then recite it. This is the verse that I recited. I guess most people call it a scripture but it sums up what I want from my life - to increase in wisdom and stature (age). As well as to be liked, not only by others but by the Most High.

Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people. ~ Luke 2:52 (New Living Transalation)

For me, the something is really the someone that I miss. I miss my Aunt M. When she passed away, it was like someone took a piece of my heart. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I miss her terribly.

I truly can't think of anything....there are things that I would like to have but I don't consider that lusting after them. If I really wanted them, I could purchase them. Obviously, I don't need these things that I want since I can't justify (or make myself) go and purchase them. (I hope that made sense...LOL.)

What if I won the lottery...what would I do? Would I travel the world or would I buy an island and move all my family and friends there? Would I not tell anyone and just continue with life as it is (of course, I would pay off the mortgage!)?

Dont. Judge. Me. You know you fanasize about winning the lottery, too!

Education is very important to me. I believe that you should learn something each day. And the internet has made this very easy. You can download university classes on Itunes. You can check out books from the library.

Today's mainstream music is not as good as the music from the 60s to the 90s. I find myself listening to my Ipod or searching You Tube for old music most of the time. Now, there are still some good artists out there but a great deal of the music sounds the same. And don't get me started about the actual vocal abilities of some of these mainstream artists.

I'll just continue to listen to my favorites (Michael, Mariah, Prince, Diana, Aretha and other old school artists!) on my Ipod!

Day 1: Five ways to win your heartAnyone who wins my heart has to first have the 5 basics: Trust, Love, Honor, Respect and Trustworthiness. I believe these are the basics for a healthy relationship. How do I know if he has these 5 basics?? Thanks for asking.

He will have good relationships with his (and my) family.

He will be a leader either at work, at home, or in the community.

He will be a great communicator. He knows what to say when AND he is a great listener

He tells and seeks the truth. Even if it hurts. He is a man of his word.

He has goals and a plan to accomplish them. And he wants (and motivates) me to do the same.

Day 2: Something you feel strongly about

I feel strongly about world peace. There is entirely too much descension in the world. Why does war and violence have to be the answer to disagreements. Why can't we just agree to disagree!?! Why can't we just love each other...good, bad, and indifferent (or different)?!?#thatisall

Day 3: A book you love:I love many books. There is not just one. I don't want to choose either. I could be here all night! NEXT!!!!

Disclaimer: I was feeling well on Saturday...I was trying to push through but wasn't doing a good job. sigh

Day 5: Things you want to say to an ex:

I have nothing to say to an ex that I haven't said already. I allow bygones to be bygones. I take whatever lessons I learned and keep moving forward. I hope that doesn't sound harsh. Well, que sera, sera.

I can't believe it has been almost two years since I wrote anything on this blog. I guess the road is paved with good intentions. LOL.

Well, I read MsFullroller's post about participating in a 30 Day Challenge so I have decided to join. If only to get myself on the wagon of blogging consistently (or more than just once - LOL). Below is what I will be blogging about:

Now, the other participants started on June 1st; MsFullroller started on June 5th. I am going to do one post with June 1st - June 5th. So I can be up to date. Wish me luck!!!
